Full description

Talk Forward is a powerful screen reader that makes your Android phone and tablet fully usable by voice and touch — built for blind and low-vision users who want speed, control, and modern features. Refined for responsiveness, Talk Forward focuses on what matters most: fast, reliable feedback and deep customization, so the device works the way you do. KEY FEATURES • Fast, fluid navigation — explore the screen by touch with low-latency speech and clear, configurable verbosity. • Fully customizable gestures — assign one- and two-finger swipes to the actions you use most, globally or per app. • Automatic image descriptions — get descriptions of images, icons, and unlabeled controls. • On-device translation — translate the focused text instantly, offline and free. • Smart voice dictation — speak naturally; optional cleanup removes hesitations and adds punctuation. • Built-in braille keyboard — type braille directly on the screen, with support for many languages and tables. • Pronunciation dictionary — teach the screen reader how to say names and terms your way, globally or per app. • Phones and tablets — feedback tuned for real, everyday use on any screen size. Talk Forward is built with and for its community, and improves continuously based on real user feedback. ACCESSIBILITY NOTE Talk Forward uses Android's accessibility services to read screen content aloud and let you control your device entirely by touch and gestures. This access is used only to provide screen-reader functionality on your device.

What's new

Braille keyboard: the dots and the swipes no longer reverse at random in landscape, the posture is announced, and a setting locks it. Explore by touch no longer vanishes after an unlock, nor after another screen reader is disabled. Quick settings on a two-finger quadruple tap. Many new assignable gestures. Three choices for speech while a microphone is open. Automatic reading of new items in a list.
